I assume you're a native speaker, anyway. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Yeah I am, but as I have stated else where, I have issues with some spelling. It's stupid stuff too. Oh well.

I do hope English does get more popular in Japan, because then hopefully if I go there, I can do conversational English for a side-job or something.
